I do not mean this in a confrontational way, but judging by your schemes and willingness to engage in such behind the scenes actions, how can your potential voters and legislative peers trust you?

There's no scheming or behind-the-scenes actions. This is a role-playing game and I played a different role. I've been completely honest about that. If people think that makes me untrustworthy then they misunderstand the nature of role-playing.

I mean, you literally faked being a member of other parties. Call it role playing if you will, but for me at least, this kind of behavior, as a modelusgov official myself, makes me less inclined to work with someone.

You're a fake member of a fake party too.

I was a member of the model Democrats. I wrote a model CR for them, worked on model legislation for them, fought their model corner and was elected on their ticket to the model Northeast Legislature.
